120 volts may cause serious injury from electrical 
shock. Disconnect electrical power to the furnace & air 
conditioner before starting installation. This thermostat 
is not a 120 volt (line voltage) device.

Improper installation may cause serious injury from electrical 
shock. This product must be installed by a qualifi ed 
heating & air conditioning contractor in accordance with 
NEC Standards and applicable local and state codes.

Do not use on circuits exceeding specifi ed voltage. 
Higher voltage will damage control and could cause 
shock or fi re hazard.

Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary control 
to test. Short or incorrect wiring will damage thermostat 
and could cause personal injury and/or property damage.

Thermostat installation and all components of the system 
shall conform to Class II circuits per NEC code.

MOUNTING AND WIRING

ELECTRIC/GAS JUMPER (FAN OPTION)

 WARNING

If your emergency or auxiliary system will energize the blower, then 
jumper W906 on the thermostat base must be cut (see 

Figure 1

).

If your emergency or auxiliary heat system requires that the 
thermostat energize the fan circuit, do not cut jumper W906.

If you are unsure of your application, contact a qualifi ed service person.

°F OR °C SELECTION

The factory default setting for temperature display is Fahrenheit. 
If you want the temperature in Celsius, clip jumper W904.

FAST OR SLOW CYCLE SELECTION

The factory default setting is fast cycle, which cycles 1st stage with a 
temperature swing of approximately 1.2°F and 2nd stage with 0.75°F. 
If you prefer slow cycle, clip jumper W905. The 1st stage and 2nd 
stage temperature swing will become 1.5°F and 1.2°F respectively.

PROGRESSIVE RECOVERY

This thermostat is set to operate with Progressive Recovery. This 
causes the thermostat to start the heating or cooling system early to 
have the room temperature reach the program setpoint at the time 
the period is to start.

To disable Progressive Recovery, clip jumper W903 (see 

Figure 1

).

O/B TERMINAL SELECTION SWITCH

The O/B switch on this thermostat is factory set to the “B” position. 
This will accommodate the majority of heat pump applications which 
require the changeover relay to be energized in HEAT. If the heat 
pump being installed with this thermostat requires an “O” terminal 
to energize the changeover relay in COOL, the O/B switch must be 
moved to the “O” position.

Take care when securing and routing wires so they do 
not short to adjacent terminals or rear of thermostat. 
Personal injury and/or property damage may occur.

 CAUTION

BATTERY LOCATION

This thermostat does not require batteries to operate. The 2 “AAA” 
alkaline batteries are for the thermostat to remember the programming 
if AC voltage is lost. If the display shows BATT when AC power is 
not present, the batteries are low and should be replaced with fresh 
“AAA” Energizer

®

 alkaline batteries. To replace the batteries, install 

the batteries along the top of the base (see 

Figure 1

). The batteries 

must be installed with the positive (+) ends to the right.

CHOOSE A LOCATION TO MOUNT THE THERMOSTAT

MOUNT THE THERMOSTAT…

•  Approximately 5 feet above the fl oor. Refer to local codes for 

compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

•  On an interior wall in a frequently occupied space where the 

temperature is most representative of the zone being controlled 
by the thermostat.

•  At least 18 inches away from an outside wall.

DO NOT MOUNT THE THERMOSTAT…

•  Behind doors, in corners or other dead air spaces.

•  In direct sunlight, near lamps or other sources of heat.

•  On an outside wall or any wall exposed to an unconditioned space 

(a garage for example).

•  In the airfl ow path of a supply register, in stairways or near 

outside doors.

•  On a wall where concealed pipes or ductwork will affect the 

thermostat temperature accuracy.

•  Near sources of electrical interference, such as arcing switch contacts.
